First picture of the year. Cheers!

For my birthday last year I decided I wanted a dramatic change with my hair. I planned on chopping a lot of it off and dying it darker, I had very long blonde hair. The brown color I was looking for didn't exactly happen, maybe I was too blonde because my hair color only became a darker blonde and kind of gray.

The 60's hairdo came about by total accident and thought it looked good, so I stuck with it and kept the theme going with my eyeliner.

It was so long I didn't know what to do with it anymore, even though I've had longer hair.

I had two outfits changes that day since I had two separate plans, daytime look and nighttime look.

Wore a lovely green dress from Macy's.

Wore my birthday crown of course.

My cousin got a new job offer at EY in Amsterdam so she had two farewell parties in February of this year, one with friends and the other with family, I went to both of course.

For the first party with friends, I wore a flower print, lace corset like top, black high waisted sailor shorts from Ross, booties and a black feathered headband from Claire's.

For the other party that was for family I wore a black dress and an orange belt because the previous party everyone wore orange since it's Amsterdam's color.


Of course I painted my nails orange and the accent nail was the Amsterdam flag I did myself.


Again of course I made cupcakes for this event, Yum Rum Sweets. Vegan chocolate topped with a raspberry, basic vanilla and an orange mango one. Brought my own stand and of course made my own cupcake toppers featuring the cannabis and the country's flag, one plain, one with a cannabis and the other with the saying bon voyage.

For Halloween last year, since last minute plans were made, I had to come up with a costume last minute. I decided on dressing up as a upper east sider with clothes I already had.

Wearing a cobalt blue dress from Petticoat Alley, black blazer and sunglasses from Madrag, headpiece from Claire's, turquoise watch from Target, handbag borrowed. Blazer has full sleeves, I just rolled them up to be 3/4 sleeve.

Earrings and necklace given to me, wore this amazing foundation from Estee Lauder Double Wear and my favorite lipstick by Chanel in shade mango 31. You can actually ask for a free 10 day sample bottle of any Estee Lauder foundation at Macy's, just ask at the Estee Lauder counter.

I had my cousin's wedding this past spring in Georgia, where he lives. The ceremony and reception was in a beautiful area called Serenbe, which I had seen on HGTV when they were doing the green home giveaway.

I luckily found this dress at the last minute since I don't have a car. Belted lace ivory/black dress from Marshalls, heels from Payless, jewelry from Madrag.


It was actually pretty chilly and I had to borrow my aunt's pashmina, I had forgotten to check the weather before and I had only brought Miami weather clothes.

Another picture with my brother.

Painted my nails in black and for my accent nail I added a nail sticker from Kiss.

A Thanksgiving look from last year while still in Miami sporting light brown curls before going black the next month.

One shoulder striped top from The Limited, vest from Forever 21, skinny jeans from dailyjeansny.

Heels were given to me and I left them back in Miami so I'm not sure of the brand.

Painted my nails all brown, added glitter to the thumb and half the ring finger with the other half in orange.

Stand from Oriental Trading featuring my pumpkin cheesecake from Yum Rum Sweets.

Every girl wants to look great and impress on their birthday, especially with a new dress! These are some of my birthday outfits I've worn in the past, all brand new and bought for set occasion.

A blue Forever 21 dress for my 21st birthday. Would have more and better pictures, but I am still waiting on my cousin to send them and I guess I will be waiting forever.

Another Forever 21 dress I had bought at the same time as the blue dress and finally wore a year later for my 22nd birthday. Headpiece from Claires, make up from Wet n' Wild and Covergirl.

I made it peacock theme so I had blue and green drinks. I also did my make-up with blue and green eye shadow and falsies.

A dress I have been waiting a year to wear I had gotten from my cousin and was finally able to for my last birthday in Miami before moving to New York not so long ago. Brand new shoes and jewelry as well.

Nails were inspired by the colors in my outfit.

Dress by Poetry, shoes from Payless, earrings from Colombia and gemstone necklace from nomorerack.
